Bernardo confident of pact renewal amid school closings protests
Montgomery County Superintendent Charles M Bernardo defends his record and expects a four year contract renewal in October despite the closure of 23 elementary schools and a junior high, clashes with the teachers union led by Hank Heller, and ongoing questions over consultant William Pepper amid a formal board inquiry. The piece notes rising test scores and enrollment challenges, plus Bernardo's plans for five year olds in first grade and building utilization while critics call his progress not spectacular.
